As much as I hate to admit it, Gustv has a point. Adopting 3 kids with special needs is exhausting in and of itself, much less while having a spouse who is an alcoholic. Didn't the authorities do a background check to see if it would be a good idea to give one family so many disabled kiddies? What about your natural born child are they being relegated to the sidelines because the squeeky wheels are getting all the time and attention? Maybe you could return a child or two to the state admitting it is too much for you now circumstances have changed to the worse. Sounds horrid but...You can't do everything yourself, something will have to be sacrificed, it always does.

Divorcing my husband of 13 years...
by 2pink inmy husband and i were both born ins.
i left in 2009, and he followed me out a bit later.
we were one of those couples who followed the script, married young and ended up having nothing in common other than the religion.

Reverse Shunning
by exwhyzee insometing happened yesterday that i thought might be noteworty enough to relate to you here.. mrs. eyz and i were invited to my new boss's home for his annual end of summer party.
it's a pretty big deal....his is a name known locally (i'll call him j.r.) a really nice interesting guy who's held a number of high level and politically connected jobs.
there was to be music, dancing, wine and reprotedly lots of well dressed, well educated, well to do and influential people (oh yes...and us) in attendance.. anyway we thought we'd make an occasion out of it and got ourselves spiffed up which involved new outfits and extra mirror time before we left home.

Gee-I don't remember ever asking anyone to bend over backward for my beliefs. While at school, I sat in the office or library while all the other kids ate goodies and exchanged gifts. When old enough to start working, I worked all the major holidays so my co-workers could have the time off with their families. For sporting events, I turned up late so as to avoid becoming an object of hatred because of refusing to say the Pledge. There were other witness kids who sat out events at school, it was less than fun to know everyone else is having a good time, but you get to watch the school secretary answer phones and type.
A slight bow would have been very polite in place of shaking hands, your girlfriend would've probably been won over by his chivalrous behaviour!

Update for all those who have contacted me regarding my father: His surgery was inexplicably postponed until the 25th. His surgeon's office left a message with my mom, who asked no questions, that they were postponing it and they would contact her later. After my brother and I pushed her, my mom called his office and they rescheduling for the 25th telling her the surgeon is going on vacation. His lung doctor wanted him operated on immediately, and that was a month ago. There has been nothing but a lack of communication between the two doctors amongst themselves and with my parents. It is very frustrating being so far away and not being able to be in the loop.
My brother & I have tried to get put on the medical records as being people who the doctors were able to speak with regarding my dad's condition, but my mom flipped out and accused us of trying to make her life difficult...meanwhile, my dad is more depressed than ever with all this craziness going on.

Modern Morality .
by jhine inhaving recently been posting on a thread about ot moral values , which are not widely "appreciated " to say the least , i have been thinking about our modern morals about sex and reletionships , or more acurately the lack of any sexual morals todays .
i don't think that we are better off as a society which has gone so far to the do want you want , with whom you want and when you want approach to sexual ethics as we have .
i don't think that women are actually liberated by this attitude .

jhine-As the mother of elementary school aged daughters, I find it disturbing that clothing for them is very sexual. My tween girl is modest and doesn't feel comfortable wearing clothing that shows too much skin. Schools recognize the trend to put little girls into provocative clothing. Her school has banned mesh clothing, midriff baring shirts, skirts or shorts that are shorter than the end of the fingertips, tube tops, jeans or pants that allow the underwear to be shown, pants that fall below the buttocks, mesh tops.
Pediatricians are pushing the HPV vaccine at the age of 11 or 12. HPV causes most cervical cancers, it is a sexually transmitted disease. It is sad to think of 11 year olds having sex, but it does happen more than it should.

I think the field used is called 'The Akashic Field' and is studied at the quantum level in physics. I'm in the midst of reading about this field in a book called "Science and the Akashic Field" by Ervin Laszlo. Laszlo has been nominated twice for the Nobel Peace Prize and has several doctorates. He was a professor of of philosophy, systems theory and futures studies in various countries of the world, according to the blurb on the back cover.

hamsterbait-You are sooo right! The congregation he goes to had 2 brothers put in jail for pedophila, one was only reproved. There was a 3rd one, I don't know what happened to him-he claimed to be of the anointed-he moved away, they did DF his victim though, for acting out sexually a couple of years later....
